Trac is soul-extinguishingly slow

[Niklas Larsson]

How would non-developers file or comment on bugs in that scenario?

I'm wondering if, in the interim, we couldn't do two things:

 1. Make the public facing side of Trac read-only, by generating a static copy
    of the site nightly and exposing that via nginx. Bug data would be one day
    old at most, but it could still be searched, browsed, etc. Just not
    interacted with by non-GHC developers.

 2. Give the GHC developers an SSH login to the machine running Trac, so that,
    by way of a port forward and an edit to /etc/hosts, they could have
    secure, direct access to the bug tracker.

I realize this is sub-optimal in many ways, but it's relatively easy to setup
and would cure all current problems until a better solution is found.
